Re: [foxboro] Alternative to tapes for backing up P79 and P81 machines.

A caveat before I mention this: I have never used this tool. So there,
here's the skinny:

The Linux world has long used an open source (GPL license) program
called BackupPC. It runs on Linux and UNIX boxes. Its main purpose is to
backup networked computers to a hard drive (which then can be backed up
to some other media like DVD, tape, etc.) It can backup Linux, UNIX, Win
and MAC boxes. I explored this possibility as an alternative to tape for
my network servers, but settled on a commercial appliance (which is also
Linux based). BackupPC may take some Unix expertise to setup. I just
didn't have the luxury of time to explore it. For you UNIX gurus, you
might want to give it a try (over your le1 ports ofcourse, not the IA
port). The link to BackupPC is http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/

Happy computing.

I'm sleep deprived; it's my only excuse.

The backup tool that I mentioned is Windows only. =3D


Sorry to get your hopes up for a Solaris solution. I really blew it.

I don't have the details at this time, but the person who makes the
announcements has the material so it should happen very shortly.

Hi Alex

Anton actually works with me at Century and we wondering because it took
almost 5 1/2 hours to do a restore on a P81.

If you could even give me a heads up.

We are scheduled to announce a new backup solution this week +/- a few
days.

I'll post it here when I see the announcement is publically released
since the topic is popular. =3D3D3D3D

Dear all,

Does an alternative exist to using tapes as the backup medium for P79
and P81 boxes running solaris?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards
Anton
